the organisation would ask all member schools to stop working with Ministry of Education

Commissioners will sort those schools out. The writing is on the wall, breaking one of the last bastions of the unionised. Time to oust the deluded remnants of Labour voters and move to a workforce that has mandated productivity and performance targets, responsible to the taxpayer.

One can only hope that the Minister does not wither and for some this will not end well..

Ideologically blinded. Parker, their finance whizz, reckons that will stimulate growth. Silent T must be on the leash round the back of the Labour shop. Anything to wring more tax out of real New Zealanders for redistribution to their non-productive voters.

Greens are making the running...Why is Labour relevant?

Meanwhile the Nats are chasing Asia-Pacific growth. Unfortunately, should the Greens get anywhere near the helm, the 'ban everything' mentality over mining, oil and gas that prevails within their realm as sanity, will cause the economy to totally crash as businesses and our brightest leg it overseas.

we would rather direct our anger and rage at the system that allowed this to happen

We do not however forgive the system that may allow this to happen

Obviously the natives are trying to fry bigger fish raging against 'the system'.

No apology given to New Zealanders in mitigation, just some locals, who have had a talk with the crew in the name of 'restorative justice'. More commonly known as greasing palms, probably with taxpayer koha.

Commenting on the launch today of a "living wage campaign" by unions and social service groups, Mr English said he was not sure what was meant by a living wage but "of course we want to see higher incomes across the board."

"To achieve that we need a flexible, resilient and growing economy."

"You can't just invent higher wages. You can't just go and borrow them off someone or legislate them. You've got to earn them and I think most New Zealander understand that."

Concepts I heartily agree with. The unionised really need to bugger off and get a real job.

I don't really know where these attitudes come from. It shocks and shames me that they still exist in New Zealand.

Another poster child for homosexuals gets airtime in the SST. At times I do wonder if anyone in modern media is not bent or a closet queer. Such views may shock in her closeted realm, but many New Zealanders feel the same about homosexuality. They just do not go public on such matters.

Dr Sharples said Mr Crimp was "out on his own ... this guy - where does he get off?"

As is the norm, the head of "our people" leading a party based on race and hell bent on separatism suggests otherwise. The Doctor would do well to note that a great many New Zealanders feel the same way as the good Mr Crimp. And still find that the Orewa speeches are a source of inspiration and hope.

One day, I suspect those speeches will be held up for all to see where we went wrong as a country, continually favouring the path to apartheid. Much like the long reviled 'Rivers of Blood' speech in the UK so many years ago that has now proven to be correct in many instances.

A married lady of Boston (Mrs. F.) was, in 1838,about to sign a deed releasing her dower (L. 434,p. 295). I asked her name. Her husband said thatshe used the initial A. ; but that her name wasAldebarontiphoscofornia. This name, also takenfrom a popular song, is probably the longest that aparent ever inflicted on a child. Christmas Carroldied at Lowell, Nov. 22, 1857, nineteen years old.Dickens's " Christmas Carol " is destined to a muchlonger life. Though length of years is so generallyan object of desire, I never met with the suggestivename of Methuselah. Pleiades Orion Lumbkinwas a former student at West Point.

Came across these gems whilst doing a bit of genealogical searching. There are plenty of others in this document.And no, none of these are rellies.Silly First Name Syndrome was obviously alive hundreds of years ago.

Brown cannot help himself. A reserve pool fleeced from ratepayers that he's found must be spent on useless trivia doing someone else's job. The consummate social engineer says "I can do this better than the government programme". As always, with OPM.

So Mr Key confirms what the electorate already knows - that the racist separatists are 'easy' meat. Able to be bribed for mere trinkets. We know that through the unholy coalition he has with them taking New Zealand headlong into apartheid. I say unholy, because it goes against what the Nats have stood for for decades. An argument I raised here earlier today.

it might be time to revise his decision to rule out working with New Zealand First

I note he is also ready to parley with Winston First. Jeez, you just cannot trust pollies not to backtrack on their word.

it's going to be a long two and a half years

Now there's a line he might not cross. A coalition with the "seriously extreme and nutty" godbotherers. Well knowing how pollies flip-flop anywhere the wind blows, at present maybe a step too far, but the urge to retain the levers of power will always win them over.

The fun and games of the continuing fallout from the fat Germanic type looking to have his pound of flesh, apparently for a lack of support and favours not rendered to his tastes, from a democratically elected MP is having far reaching effects.

Whilst the good Mr Banks with all his years of political experience will no doubt hang on till actually pushed, some minorities are getting their knickers in a twist over the possibility of unintended consequence.

The thought that another might be able to purchase his place at the trough be democratically elected should Mr Banks fall by way is getting up the nose of some. You see, Mr Craig has apparently some rabid puritanical types lurking in the background. And the smears have already started.

The saidminorities (and ACT is a minority) do not wish to cheer from the rooftops at the prospect of ridding themselves of Banks, but certainly are not about to start cheering for the possible replacement.

A replacement that I think might have more gumption than Mr Banks. And one this New Zealander has no issues with, being very comfortable with the democratic possibilities. Time for purging a few liberal minority types in exchange for some family friendly policies.
